Description
The variety Vekan is counted among the "purple stripe" and hardnecks. From the Czech Republic. Up to about 200 brood bulbs are formed. Mostly purple to white-brown, rather smaller bulbs and toes. Intense flavor. (From Landschaftenschmecken.com).
Non hybrid
Frostproof
Growing tips
It is best to pin the toes until November, then they will take the strength over the winter to sprout in spring. Spring planting is also possible. Garlic must be divided into individual cloves before planting. These are then planted individually in the soil with the tip pointing upwards. Harvesting can begin when the leaf tips dry, change color and bend downwards. Hang up in an airy place to dry.
